OK, everybody, in honor of BlogHer being on the same weekend as the Grand Prix race, start your engines!!
BlogHer Registration is live!
You will notice several differences between this year and last year:
-We are a two-day conference, and we are allowing people to register for individual days or both days, as they so choose. Remember, Day One is techie and hands on. Day Two is culture, conversation and community...and will be the Day that supports Room of Your Own sessions.
-We are allowing people to buy evening cocktail party attendance separately. So if you only want to attend one day's worth of sessions, but want to party both nights, you can feel free. Or if you want to bring your significant other to the evening events, you can buy them tickets to just the cocktail parties.
Yes, there are going to be caps on attendance. I will certainly try to give people more heads up than last year! Right now we are estimating that Day One will be about the same size as last year's conference, and that Day Two could be up to double in size.
Stay tuned for an update on the hotel room situation.
Consider the flag to have dropped...and the start gun to have fired.
UPDATED: The Two-Day Student Pass option is now publicly visible. Thanks to danah for her sharp eyes.
Hey Elisa, I'm a little confused about entering my blog information. It says to enter name/URL with blogs separated by a carriage return. When I enter a carriage return, the form submits. Also, I'm not clear on whether I should do my blog names plus their URLs or just their names alone.

Thank you Elisa!

Hmm. Anne, you seem to be right, which is unexpected behavior.
I am going to change the language to ask people to separate BLogName/URL combos by semi-colon, as I know that option works fine.
Thanks for finding that.

Seeing as how this is T+6 months (at least) prior to the event, and that some of us will start new blogs between now and then, will we be able to update our blog information prior to the event?

This is a two-part answer:
1. If your only desire is to get additional blogs on the BlogHerRoll, you will, in a few short weeks, be able to add blogs yourself to our new site.
2. If your desire is actually to change the URL that will be on your conference badge, you can email me and I will take care of it.

Wow! I am quite impressed with the job you have done to promote BlogHer. Congratulations.
My congratulations, also, to Lisa and Jory. And to everyone else tirelessly contributing. You are doing a fabulous job.

Just a FYI-
Not to be a spelling and grammar Nazi, but two words are misspelled:
"The Two-Day BlohHer '06 Pass provides.."
"Go to BlogHer for more informaiton."
